Dear All,

This is my first post, so a big hello to you all out there.

I am having some difficulties getting rid of wooly aphids on my
phyracantha - they are taking over. I have tried pressure hosing and
various chemical preparations but they are still winning the war so any
ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

Best wishes,

Jean.

We used an old toothbrush and turps/white spirit earlier this year, does a
bang up job but is very time consuming. Cleared an old apple tree in a few
hours, but they haven't resurfaced yet.
